Nice idea, bad everything else

Rating: 6/10 (13 May 2011)

The reason I give this movie a 6 (which is a good mark I believe) is that its main idea is good. Intriguing, too. Not too novel, though. Yet it is a good idea.
Now the bad parts: First, I was very disappointed that instead of treating the idea as a chance to pose an ethical question about cloning and organ harvesting, the movie just divided the cast to 'evil' and 'good'. There is no dilemma, really. That's only the first thing I noticed. As for its atmosphere, the movie is generally acceptable, except that it wasn't very believable for me, since in the 'facility' things looked like we're in the 24th century, and outside, everything was about 21st. Also, the movie drags. Really hard. Entire scenes could have been cut off, not to mention that many scenes take 5 more minutes than required to poke your eyes out with something that was hinted slightly. It certainly makes sure you miss nothing. I sincerely think it can be watched at 2x speed without losing much (if any).
The acting is generally good, though. I liked Sean Bean, and it seems I'm the only one in the world to do so. Nevertheless, this movie isn't so bad after all.
